Tuesday will be another hot and sunny day in the Twin Cities, with possibly severe storms arriving late. Highs will be in the upper 80s, and it will be humid. The best chance for storms in the metro arrives Tuesday night. Clouds will stream in from out west before the threat arrives, likely around 8 p.m. Strong winds and hail are possible. A few showers and thunderstorms may linger into Wednesday before conditions gradually improve. After that, dry weather will return for the rest of the week, with seasonable summer temperatures. Heat and humidity will build heading into next week, with increasing potential for a prolonged hot stretch.

Minneapolis City Council unanimously passes gun control ordinance

The Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a gun control ordinance on Thursday, which includes a ban on assault-style weapons, large-capacity magazines, ghost guns and would restrict firearms in some public places.  The measure’s future is unclear, however, because state preemption laws prevent cities from creating their own gun ordinances. A spokesperson for Mayor Jacob Frey says he is supportive, and the ordinance now heads to his desk. The City Council heard from the public about the measure earlier this week.  “Weapons of war do not belong in our neighborhoods.

And today, Minneapolis is saying: enough,” said Council member Aurin Chowdhury, the ordinance’s lead author. “This harm has touched every corner of our city – from the north side to the south side. With this action, we say to every impacted community member: we stand with you in your grief, and we will do everything in our power to end this violence.” Earlier this week, Minnesota state senators passed a gun control bill along party lines, though it’s unlikely the legislation would pass the divided Minnesota House. The St. Paul City Council passed a similar ordinance last fall. Soon after passage, the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus challenged the capital city in court. Rob Doar, general counsel for the caucus, said they’re still in litigation.  As for Minneapolis, Doar said he would be watching the final language of the ordinance closely and expects to file a lawsuit.  “We have a significant number of members who are in Minneapolis who would be affected by this ordinance, and there seems to be a disconnect about ability to enforce versus ability to pass,” Doar said. “The state statute doesn’t preempt enforcement; it preempts their authority to even pass this ordinance.”

Woman arrested on Easter Sunday outside St. Paul’s Cities Church, site of anti-ICE protest involving Don Lemon

Police in St. Paul, Minnesota, say officers arrested a woman who was “disrupting” Easter Sunday services at Cities Church, the site where an anti-immigration enforcement protest in January led to federal prosecutors charging dozens of demonstrators and some journalists. Police say several officers were “working contracted overtime” Sunday morning at the church, located off Summit Avenue and South Saratoga Street, where “a group of protesters” was “using a blow-horn and yelling loudly.” Around 8:35 a.m., police say all but one protester complied with officers’ “numerous announcements” to stop disrupting the service under threat of possible citations and arrests.

Police say the woman, who has not been identified, was “arrested by officers for interference with religious observance.” Protesters have regularly gathered outside the church during services since Jan. 18, when several demonstrators and journalists — including former CNN host Don Lemon and Georgia Fort — entered the building during Sunday services in protest against one of its pastors, David Easterwood, who is the acting field director of ICE’s St. Paul office.

Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
